Abstract
Abstract In this text, we present the contributions of the Spain-based project Rereadings. Museum Itineraries from a Gender Perspective, which aims to present to the public the collections of 11 Valencian museums, of various kinds and under different types of ownership, from a gender and queer perspective. Rereadings uses virtual itineraries and QR codes to contribute to the study of gender. Thus, technology is used as a basis for information dissemination, analysis, and debate. The struggle against androcentrism and heteropatriarchy has generated a greater inclusion of women, other genders, and diverse sexualities in traditional museum discourse. New technologies function as one of the fundamental pillars of the project; their purpose is to disseminate museum itineraries as works in progress, and to promote education and access. Rereadings offers a forum for public discussion that questions androcentrism and the Western sexand gender-based binary system, while increasing the visibility and acceptance of alternative and transgender identities.
